Ahoy There with Deborah Hellman

Today we’re rolling out the red carpet for Deborah Hellman and this bright, playful nautical card featuring our Crafty Crew Kit, Nature’s Beauty 6x6 Pattern Paper Pack, Little Sailor Meadow 4x6 Stamp Set, and Harbor Friends Stamp Set. We love how Deborah created a fun ocean scene with layered panels, colorful sailboats, a lighthouse, and sweet seaside friends. This project is such a fun example of how coordinating stamped images and patterned paper can come together to create a handmade card full of coastal charm. Here’s what Deborah had to say about the project.

Hello fellow cardmakers! Deborah here and I’m super excited to share with you an adorable A2 card that I created using the Little Sailor Meadow Stamp Set, Harbor Friends Stamp Set, and Nature's Beauty Patterned Paper from the November Crafty Crew Kit. The Little Sailor Meadow Stamp Set includes 6 image stamps and 2 sentiment stamp options. The Harbor Friends Stamp Set includes 6 images and 4 sentiments. This will be the last kit, so you don't want to miss it.

I always like to select my paper first so that I can coordinate my ink and cardstock colors. The Nature's Beauty Patterned Paper Pack has lots of gorgeous papers to choose. After selecting my paper, I found a frame die in my stash that I wanted to use to create a background. 

Next, I stamped and colored my figures and arranged them on my A2 card. All of the images are sooo cute. I finished the card by adding a sentiment from the stamp set and mounting it to a conversation bubble die-cut.
